Day 30-anyway I want it Family History Poem

Day 30-Family History

I recently was given an album

Of photographs of the past

It's full of lovely photos

Of ancestors who were steadfast

There's men in topcoats and suits

And women in high style fashion

And babes wearing cute outfits

When their lives were full of passion

These photographs are amazing

The only problem is this

None of them are labeled

So, no names have come to us

My advice to all you people

Is to label all your pictures

So someone someday will know

Your name in all it's grandeur 

Day 28-Poetweet

Whenever we create anything, I wonder how alike it is to God's creations. We come close whenever we create a child. We are His creations, and we are glorious. 

Day 28-Poetweet

Whenever we create anything, I wonder how alike it is to God's creations. We come close whenever we create a child. We are His creations, and we are glorious.

Had to rewrite it. Too long. 

When we create anything, we wonder how it mimics God's creations. We come closest when we create life. How glorious are His works. Creation. 

Day 27- diatelle poem

Tell

A tale

Do not fail

Tell of your life

Or of a Dragon’s Tail

With his scales of purple Loosestrife

The sky is so dark, cut it with a knife

If the story's of you, there may have been a bell

To wake you up to play a rousing fife

To please someone’s husband or wife 

As they take the fast rail

Happiness rife

Without fail

Ships sail

Dwell

Day 26-Rictameter Poem

Day 26-Rictameter Poem

Lucky

Missing Hanna 

She wasn't her Autism

Her short life had a grand purpose

To teach and show us how to love others

We learned to be better from her

Her legacy is love

She lived, we love

Lucky

Day 25. Almost done.

Day 25-pensee poetry

Penguins

Cute and funny

Look like they're wearing a tux

Their waddling makes us giggle

Do they make a good pet?

Day 24-Limerick

There once was a girl named Vick

Who thought she could write a lim'rick

She tried and she tried

Yet she couldn't get it right

So she got quite a crick in her neck

Day 23-Quinzain Poem

I came up with a few. 

Babysitting is so fun

They want to play games 

All night long

The youngest generation

Is now so plugged in

Is it good?

Then in honor of Talk Like Shakespeare Day:

Grandchildren are passing fair

I prithee to believe

Bless'd are we

Day 22-Nature Color Poem

Day 23-Nature Color Poem

Nature is a rainbow Heavenly Father has given

Everywhere you look, it's like you are in heaven

He gave us yellow roses to brighten up our day

And blue skies above us in this, the latter-day

We also have green grass that provides us room to play

Our Heavenly Father loves us, earth his grand display. 

Day 21- Poem in My Pocket

I have to preface this. I have a blog called Life in the Library, that until today, I hadn't really considered what that meant. Because of a friend's blog, I found an image I want to use on my blog of a circus. I haven't quite figured out how to use it yet, but it still made me consider writing a poem today on what that means to me.

Life in the Library

Working in a library is sometimes
Like being in the Circus
There's clowns who make you laugh
And wild animals who make you cringe
Then there's a high wire act
When a child screams unendingly
But the most beautiful part is
Like a knife thrower when
A child suddenly gets how wonderful
It is to be able to read!

Day 20-Grammar Poem

Dogs
Going in and going out
Driving us crazy
Treating us like doormen
I wish we had a revolving door

Day 19-Clerihew Poetry

This is a story about our grandson and dogs

It's a way to begin my monologue 

We had fun watching them make a mess

As the little babe fed the four-footed rest!

Day 18-Couplet

Day 18-Couplet

When in your life you have dogs

You are so much closer to God

Another Cinquain

Another one

Reading

Is what I love

My imagination can soar

Gives me wings of flight to my thoughts

Good books

Day 17-Cinquain Poem

Day 17- Cinquain poem

Blessings
A loving God
He loves us so much
We are His children forever
Thankful

One more

Another one I just wrote, while thinking of my Savior.

I know the Lord is there

He answers all my prayers

He's always shown He cares

He teaches me to share

His love can never err

I'll put my arm to the square

I strive to avoid Satan's snares

And end my life as His heir

Day 26

Day 26-monorhyme 

Coming up with a poem that rhymes

Is all about the rhythm and time

And making it sound like a beautiful chime

As in "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme"

It really isn't such a great literary climb

To be able to rhyme in the daytime

But when it carries into your needed sleep time 

It may have now become a bedtime crime!!

Day 15-Octopoem

Okay. I decided to have fun with this today. 

Day15-Octopoem

My Octopoem Octopus

My friend like to change color a lot

He doesn't care what season it is

His home is down deep in the ocean

If it's stormy, he's not happy

He doesn't wear any clothes

His couch the kelp on the ocean floor

He'd love to watch Sponge-Bob, if he had a TV

He'll eat anything he can fit in his beak

Day 13-Nonet Poem

Day 13-Nonet Poem

We've dogs who are crazy in our house
For whatever reason, who knows?
They run around in circles
Until they are dizzy
Then plop on the ground
They make us laugh
And then sigh,
They're done!
Whew!

Day 12-Shardorama Poem

My poem for today. 

There are books

That draw you right in

And some books

Turn you off

And then my favorite reads

Are ones that inspire. 

Day 11-Haiku

Day 11-Haiku

Grandchildren are fun

They pull your heartstrings one day

Even when they destroy. 

Day 10-Acrostic Poem

Day 10-Acrostic Poem

So happy I have siblings

I love them every one

Because they are my family my

Life is fully blest

I'll use them as examples and

Never let them go

God gave me a good family

So glad that they're the best. 

Day 9- fractured nursery rhyme

Here's the original:

A tisket, a tasket 

A green and yellow basket

I wrote a letter to my love

And on the way I dropped it

I dropped it, I dropped it

And on the way I dropped it

A little boy picked it up

And put it in his pocket 

And now mine:

A tisket, a tasket

A ball and then a basket

I put the ball up in the sky

And missed that silly basket

I missed it, I missed it

I missed that silly basket

Somebody else picked it up

And they didn't miss the basket!

Day 4 I am poem

Day 4

I am a happy loving child of God

I wonder if I show enough love to others

I hear my heart beating a staccato

I see my life when I'm done on earth

I want to be crowned with glory

I am a happy loving child of God

I pretend that I know what I'm doing

I feel Like I get better at it each day

I touch the hearts of others

I worry that they won't understand

I cry when I think of the heartache around me

I am a happy loving child of God

I understand my Heavenly Father loves me

I say I am all that he needs

I dream of His arms around me

I try to show love all around

I hope for a better tomorrow

I am a happy loving child of God

Day 3-Triplet

Listening to the prophet speak

Is something we should do this week

To get the answers that we seek

Another one

I see the red roses blooming

I hear the birds chirping in the trees

I feel the warm sunshine on my face

I smell the new mown grass clippings

I taste the sweet berries from the vine. 

Day 2-spring Senses Poem

Spring looks like green grass

Spring sounds like birds singing

Spring feels like warm sunshine

Spring smells like lawn clippings

Spring tastes like sweet berries
